Thank you, Anni. Maybe I'm a masochist because I do like making things difficult for myself. I considered rhyming each line as well, but that was a bridge too far. Perhaps next time...
Surrender then to the abyss,
ambition mere disaster,
your dreams of flight have gone amiss
and gravity’s your master.
The design seems to have a flaw,
the wings look very flimsy;
methinks you’ll end up very sore,
your plans are really whimsy.
Fine example of brave humanity,
unless, of course, it’s just insanity.
